Service Projects

Our Commitment to Serving the Community

At the Rotary Club of Pittsboro, service is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by Rotary’s motto, “Service Above Self,” our members work year-round to strengthen our community through hands-on projects, local partnerships, and meaningful programs that make a lasting impact.

From supporting students with scholarships and school supplies, to feeding neighbors in need, honoring veterans, caring for seniors, and protecting our environment, we are dedicated to building a stronger, healthier, and more connected Chatham County.

This page highlights just some of the ways we put service into action — through annual traditions, ongoing commitments, and special projects that bring our members together in fellowship and purpose.
